The tracks and US-40 each share one side of Byers Canyon just west of Hot Sulphur Springs. Trains are limited to 20 MPH (Amtrak can go 25 MPH) through the canyon, making it a great place to get a few pictures and get ahead of trains. On a frozen January afternoon, the eastbound Zephyr makes its way along the Colorado River.
